What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?
My role is to make sure that everything is ready to go to start production every day. I conduct pre-shift meetings with my team members, and monitor the production lines throughout the day. I communicate any maintenance or quality assurance issues that arise, and jump in as needed on the floor to keep production going.
